In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.28, the getaddrinfo
function would successfully parse a string that contained an IPv4 address
followed by whitespace and arbitrary characters, which could lead
applications to incorrectly assume that it had parsed a valid string,
without the possibility of embedded HTTP headers or other potentially
dangerous substrings.
